I was going to post this ages ago and then I lost the article and forgot what it was. I’ve just discovered I still had the tab open, so here we are.

Enfield based duo Oliver Paterson and Phoenix Ross have landed a place in the Guinness World Records after creating the biggest scotch egg known to man.

The north Londoners created the massive 7.81kg snack by using an ostrich egg from Scotland (which took 90 minutes to boil), alongside 22lbs of sausage meat, before being dredged in semolina and panko breadcrumbs. In order for the record to be completed, the scotch egg had to be successfully cut open with the yolk still intact.
